The Pink Heist

language (Adam El Shalakany Oct. 29, 2016) , 1 edition
The Pink Heist will take you across the corrupt, bumbling future. All the way from Sweetspot, Disappear, a city full of criminals, to La2x City One, an empire full of criminals.

If you enjoyed The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or Terry Pratchett read on for a good laugh.

There exists in the Kepler region of known space the exo-planet Disappear, which lies hidden between the folds of four stars. The erratic orbit of these stars hide the residents of this planet from the scans of the 'versal authorities. As a result, the citizens of Disappear tend to be of the criminal variety.

There on Disappear begins one of the greatest heists in the known 'verse.

Mr. Qruise is a Stranger. Which doesn't mean he's awkward, he is that, but a Stranger with a capital S in the 'verse is something entirely different. Having survived a fall into a black hole he can now ‘pop’ in and out of existence. A coward and an unlicensed archeologist, his only ambition is to drink his days away and go to a dig or two. Unfortunately for him, Strangers are a rare commodity in the ‘verse and he is quickly dragged into the adventure to rob the La2x family vault.

Mancy La2x is the cruel and cunning daughter of the head of the La2x family, the most ruthless family in half the ‘verse. She threatens and coerces her crew to follow her orders. Their mission, should they choose to accept it or not, is to rob her family vault for reasons known only to her.

The Zenbot is a killing machine and a master of all the known martial arts, and even some unknown. A brilliant tactician and strategist, Zenbot is the one being in the ‘verse you want by your side in a pinch, or in a punch. The inorganic is also a pacifist, which makes its role as the muscle in Mancy’s plan all the more challenging.

Captain Pippy surfs suns for fun and is the crew’s pilot. Her job is to make sure Mancy and the rest make it to the vault in one piece. She’s quite mad and is the only one who enjoys the death defying trip.

VII, the cryptographer, lives most of her life in a game simulation. She detests the real world and is bribed by Mancy to help on the mission. A scoundrel and not to be trusted, VII is only loyal to herself and her pet mouse Algy.

Freedman, Zenbot’s second pupil, is a lucky son of a gun. He can cook a mushroom any way you’d like and always seems to land on his feet, no matter what the ‘verse throws at him.

The crew, together, have to find a way to survive Mancy’s mad mission to travel across space-time and rob one of the best protected forts in the ‘verse.
